This is completely unrelated with kaffe, but I found it quite
funny (just to not say anything worst) and I thought I could
share it with you :(
I was happily running autconf/automake 1.3 until some packages
decided they needed the 1.4 stuff.
Ok, I have the tools under CVS so I do 'cvs update' and
reconfigure them.
Everything goes fine with autoconf, but when I run 'configure'
on automake (or whatever else it was), surprise, it says I
need automake 1.4 in order to correctly configure automake 1.4 !!!!
I really miss the good old times when I had to tweak the makefiles
to build packages on my machines. At least I always knew what was
going on :(
